Great posts here. Having read a biography of Patton several years ago I read the thread. Of note Patton was ready to come from the south into Berlin and thought D-day extended the war and needlessly cost thousands of lives but it was done to give the English the glory of the day. Patton had a real issue with authority.
I do remember the slapping incidents from the book but I thought that it was someone else who did that. I looked it up and found this The 93rd Evacuation Hospital - Patton & The Slapping Incidents ! I don't think this biographer is very good.
